We're all in this together; let's stay apart.

Vaccination Clinics

Updated May 4, 2021

The City of Coquitlam is proud to support the COVID-19 BC Immunization Plan, with the Poirier Forum and Centennial Pavilion are being used as a combined mass vaccination facility operated by  Fraser Health Authority. The Forum is not a drive-through vaccination site.

All people 18+ can now register to get vaccinated by calling 1-833-838-2323 or visiting gov.bc.ca/getvaccinated.

Parking in the Poirier precinct area will be busier than usual as the City of Coquitlam works with Fraser Health to provide a safe space for our local Vaccination Clinic. View the Poirier Precinct Parking Map (PDF) for other parking options nearby. Thank you for your patience and for supporting immunity in our community.

Recreation and Service Updates

Updated March 29, 2021

In compliance with current PHOs, the City has reviewed all adult community centre and recreation programming (ages 19+). Currently, skating and swimming activities as well as individual sport and physical activity for adults is permitted. Masks are now mandatory at all times, including when exercising. Children and youth programs (under 19 years of age) are also permitted. 

Please note that masks are mandatory for all people entering City facilities. Exemptions apply for people with health conditions or physical, cognitive or mental impairments who cannot wear a mask; for people who cannot remove a mask on their own; and for children under the age of 12. 

At this time, most City services continue to be delivered with protocols in place to ensure both public and staff safety. For service details, click on the link of the area of service. Staff are also available by phone or email; visit coquitlam.ca/contact. Also, many City services and transactions can be completed online; visit coquitlam.ca/eservices.
